I probably prefer Dillinger '73 to Bonnie and Cylde, but it's been a long time since I've seen the latter. It's one of the better 70s Depression exploitation/gangster movies. Milius is on point and Oates is the man, as I'm sure we all agree with.

I'll be picking this one up at some point.

Claudia, we need you to appear in LOST COMMAND. It's gonna revolutionize the war genre. What did you think of the script?

I give it 8/10. It proceeds by "yanks", not in a linear fashion centered on the main character. I prefer it like that, without the politically correct dribble and the female oriented romantic hogwash. And it is visually rich, never saw so many old cars around getting destroyed. Lots of good scenes and very well delineated minor characters (and some of them look like their models).

The Stephen Prince commentary on the new disc is very useful. He points out the occasional homage to Peckinpah or Welles or whoever, then starts going to town on every set-up Milius owes to Ford. The number of those is prodigious.

That's what you get, Drink, for not appreciating the genius of When You Read This Letter.
